LOL I'm not a "snowflake" I can deal with it LOL
I think we have to remember that this test is not a diagnostic tool, to say what specific disorder you have. It just highlights what issues you are dealing with, when you took the test, and which ones may be more of an issue for you right now. I plan on taking a copy of mine to the Counselor next time and let her look at it, though she's a new counselor so she really wouldn't know whether it applies to me or not. Another reason for taking this test, and saving it on your PC account, is that you can retake and see if the numbers change and in what direction. Like my first test was over a year ago, a 135 and now this one is 156. I compared them and the same issues were highlighted with lower values. So there's about 11 issues that are always higher than the others and I believe those values to be correct. Just don't "overthink" any of these online tests and if you are concerned talk to you MH provider and maybe they can explain the results a little better.
Doc John wrote some info on this test in the Sanity Score forum that explains it a little better.
